ABSTRACT

The article presents the author's views on various socio-political developments from around the world. He feels that even though the Berlin Wall has fallen, in place of that other walls have come up which are much worse than that--the walls constructed by the U.S. along its border with Mexico, Spanish enclaves on the northern rim of Morocco, and more. He criticizes the decision of the European countries to not recognize the Saharawi Republic. He also mentions refugee camps in Algeria.
